Titus 2
1 And thou — be speaking what doth become the sound teaching;
But say the things which fit sound doctrine,
2 aged men to be temperate, grave, sober, sound in the faith, in the love, in the endurance;
that older men should be temperate, sensible, sober minded, sound in faith, in love, and in perseverance,
3 aged women, in like manner, in deportment as doth become sacred persons, not false accusers, to much wine not enslaved, of good things teachers,
and that older women likewise be reverent in behavior, not slanderers nor enslaved to much wine, teachers of that which is good,
4 that they may make the young women sober-minded, to be lovers of [their] husbands, lovers of [their] children,
that they may train the young wives to love their husbands, to love their children,
5 sober, pure, keepers of [their own] houses, good, subject to their own husbands, that the word of God may not be evil spoken of.
to be sober minded, chaste, workers at home, kind, being in subjection to their own husbands, that God’s word may not be blasphemed.
6 The younger men, in like manner, be exhorting to be sober-minded;
Likewise, exhort the younger men to be sober minded.
7 concerning all things thyself showing a pattern of good works; in the teaching uncorruptedness, gravity, incorruptibility,
In all things show yourself an example of good works. In your teaching, show integrity, seriousness, incorruptibility,
8 discourse sound, irreprehensible, that he who is of the contrary part may be ashamed, having nothing evil to say concerning you.
and soundness of speech that can’t be condemned, that he who opposes you may be ashamed, having no evil thing to say about us.
9 Servants — to their own masters [are] to be subject, in all things to be well-pleasing, not gainsaying,
Exhort servants to be in subjection to their own masters and to be well-pleasing in all things, not contradicting,
10 not purloining, but showing all good stedfastness, that the teaching of God our Saviour they may adorn in all things.
not stealing, but showing all good fidelity, that they may adorn the doctrine of God, our Savior, in all things.
11 For the saving grace of God was manifested to all men,
For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation to all men,
12 teaching us, that denying the impiety and the worldly desires, soberly and righteously and piously we may live in the present age, (aiōn g165)
instructing us to the intent that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we would live soberly, righteously, and godly in this present age; (aiōn g165)
13 waiting for the blessed hope and manifestation of the glory of our great God and Saviour Jesus Christ,
looking for the blessed hope and appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior, Yeshua the Messiah,
14 who did give himself for us, that he might ransom us from all lawlessness, and might purify to himself a peculiar people, zealous of good works;
who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity and purify for himself a people for his own possession, zealous for good works.
15 these things be speaking, and exhorting, and convicting, with all charge; let no one despise thee!
Say these things and exhort and reprove with all authority. Let no one despise you.
